THE RED STORM Or the Days of Daniel Boone B y J O E L R O B I N S O N C H A PTE R IÏL Allan Norwood, with a few hardy ad venturers, had floated down the Ohio and Kentucky In boata and reached, af ter encountering innumerable perils, the vicinity o f the new settlements. Leav ing his comrades to refresh themselves a fter nights and days o f toil and danger, our hero took his rifle and sallied forth <t« explore the country a little and learn how near they might be to Boones bor ough and Harrodaburg, when he acci dentally became a party to the scene between Roaalthe Alston and Le Bland. Allan was the son o f a wealthy farm er and received a very liberal education. Naturally bold and adventurous, he felt * strong repugnance to any o f the learn- * ed professions. H e longed for a life of activity. Accounts were daily reaching Ohio, through various channels, o f the sufferings add romantic adventures of Daniel Boone. Benjamin Logan, John Harrod and other pioneers; and those re markable stories made Allan conceive the bold design o f penetrating to that wild region, to share in the excitement and danger of a backwoodsman's life. This resolution being formed and a plan o f operation matured, the requisite material. In the shape o f enterprising t young men, was speedily found to co operate with him, and the perilous under taking was achieved. .. . A s Allan walked toward Boonesbor- ough with its daring founder he could not refrain from observing him with deep Interest; and he truly appeared to’ him the most remarkable man o f the a ge; for he had explored alone the mighty for ests o f Kentucky, braving singly the fury o f the exasperated savages, who follow ed his footsteps day and night to de stroy him and prevent him from carry Ing back to his countrymen the history o f the most delightful country under heaven. But thus far he had escaped the deadly hostility o f the w ily sav age. and the man o f sleepless nights and weary days, ordained by .God to carry life and civilization into the distant w il derness, now stood beside our hero with firm foot and lofty brow. When they reached BoOnesborough Norwood paused to examine the manner In which it was constructed. It con- . sisted o f a dozen cabins built o f heavy logs, ingeniously Interlaced at the ends, qnd separated from each other by par tions o f the same material. These cab ins formed one side o f the fort, being highest on the outside, the roofs inclin ing inward. Strong stockades were rais ed around these at suitable distance, and in the angles o f the cabins block houses o f the most substantial kind Were erected. These projected about twenty inches beyond the outer walls - o f the cabins and stockades, and were amply provided with loopholes. Allan, after making these observations, remarked “ that the whole must have been the work o f considerable labor.” “ Ton are right, young man, and it was not only a work o f much labor, but a work often interrupted by sudden at tacks o f the savages. It reminded me o f Nehemiah repairing the walls o f Jéru salem, when his workmen wrought with « n e hand and held the spear with the «th e r ," replied the pioneer; and then led the way to a large gate o f slabs, upon which he struck a few blows with the butt o f his rifle. Directly footsteps were beard and a voice asked: “ W ho dar?” “ It is one of our colored fellows,” re marked Boone to Allan, and then re plied to the negro's reasonable inquiry i “ It Is me, Andrew.” “ I doesn’t know any sich white fei- ler,” was the immediate response. ' “ Come, don’t keep us waiting; hurry,” rejoined Boone. “ Dat you. Massa Boone?" asked An drew. in more respectful tone. The forester replied* that It was; the negro opened the door, and the parties entered the inclosure. Allan glancd at Andrew while he was closing the gate, and perceived that he was considerably advanced in life, his woolly hair being gray with age. though bis figure was not bowed by the weight o f yean. “ A faithful, but rather eccentric fel low is Andrew,” observed Captain Boone. H e then lifted the rude latch and ushered the young hunter into bis cabin. A respectable looking female met him on the threshold, whom he intro duced to Allan as Mrs. Boone. A young woman of eighteen or twenty he pre sented as his daughter Elizabeth. N o r wood had entertained a hope that the maiden whom he had seen in the morn ing might prove to be the daughter of the famous pioneer, but when his gaze rested upon Elizabeth Boone, althongb v she was fair, he could not so far master his feelings as to realize no disappoint ment at the discovery. A (ad o f about fifteen years o f age was cleaning the tube o f a rifle, and was the forester's son. * Captain Boone informed his family that his guest, who was from the State o f Ohio, had come to examine the coun try, and hoped <he would receive such hospitality as their poor dwelling conld afford; to which Mrs. Boone responded in an appropriate and kindly manner, and set about making preparations for dinner. W hile the meal was being prepared, Allan proceeded, to' relate the particu lars of the morning’ s adventure, to which his host- listened ' with earnest attention. “ Did you hear any portion of the con versation that passed between the you woman and the FrenchmanT” he ask “ I am quite certain that I heard the latter refer to pome danger of aq immi nent and pressing kind that menaced this settlement, or the neighboring one.” “ And yon say, moreover, that he wish ed to extort a promise o f some kind from her?” continued Boone. “ It was that which caused me to In terfere in her behalf; and the promise o f secrecy I doubt not had référencé to the danger which threatens you, joinhd Allan. “ This matter may be o f the greatest Importance to ua, Mr. Nor#eod. W ere there any names mentioned, that you can now recollect Du Quesna, I think it was.” Daniel Boone sprang from hla aeat with a suddep and angry Impulse. “ Du Queens, did you eay, sir?” he exclaimed. “ Then there Is Indeed dan ger, for he ia an Instrument to do us harm. Tha Indians will rally around him to cruah ua. I have heard hla name; he acta under the authority of tha B rit ish posts, and has been active In dis tributing arms and ammunition among the savage tribes.’’ “ A llow me to inquire who this Le Bland ia who came so near sending a bullet through my body?” rejoined Allan. “ Th at question is not ea'sily answered, young man. I need information on the subject myself. H e came among ua abont four weeks ago. H e has man aged to make himself peculiarly agree able to -Esquire Alston, and that he loves his handsome daughter Rosalthe is no secret among us. Th e girl fears him. W hat the secret of his influence is, I have not been able to discover.” “ Does Mr. Alston favor the preten sions of the Frenchman?" asked Allan, earnestly. “ Most decidedly. Esquire Alston was formerly a man o f wealth, and could indulge in the luxuries o f refined life. H e also has indubitable claims to a no ble ancestry. H e married into a distin guished family, and hla daughter receiv ed an education fa r superior to that which usually falls to the lot o f young ladies. H avin g lost most o f h i» wealth by an unfortunate Investment, he turned 'his attention to this new country, and had the courage to dare a pioneer’s life, bnt If Squire Alston has any weak point. It is that his sweet daughter should mar ry a gentleman.? The conversation was interrupted at that .fnopient by the entrance o f Simon Kenton; a man whose name ia honorably mentioned In the annals o f Kentucky history. H is face had a frank and hon est expression which served as a pass port to the good opinion of Allan. The brief ceremony o f introduction had scarcely been finished before another in dividual made his appearance in the cabin o f the pioneer. This was Joel Logston, a man o f extraordinary mus cular power, and of whose wonderful ex ploits tradition ia yet eloquent. H e was followed by one o f the largest and ugli est dogs that ever aspired to the friend ship o f a - hnman being. iOn account o f the explosive and 'fiery nature o f his disposition his master had bestowed upon him the pame o f Vesu vius. Vesuvius was a snappish and fret ful cur, given to sudden, violent and dan gerous eruptions o f the lava o f wrath, whgn it became imperatively necessary for all within a certain area to with draw themselves speedily to escape in stant worriment with tooth and nail. This ungentle mastiff always walked about six inches behind Joel Logston, except when engaged in his favorite pur suit o f hunting, for on these occasions he was invariably in advance o f every thing in the shape o f qnadrnped or bi ped. Joel Logston was quite as celebrated for his marvelous narrations and extrav agant style as for his physical strength. No man of the three settlements could tell with ‘ such incomparable self-posses sion and coolness such stories as he did. W ith this strong procli- ty to exaggera tion was combined a rough drollery and good nature that made him at all times a very agreeable companion. I f Joel bad any malice in bis heart it manifested it self in putting Andrew in mortal fear by causing Vesuvius to show his teeth and make several hostile demonstrations toward him. Nor was Andrew the only subject o f these currish I persecutions. Mr. Alston’s colored man. Exquisite Eb ony, was another martyr to Joel and bis mastiff. W hile Allan w a x partaking o f the substantial hospitality of the pioneer in the form o f excellent venison and other wholesome and palatable viands, L og ston amused all the parties by relating one of hi» recent adventures, in which he asserted, with much modesty o f man ner, that he had no donbt slain four teen Indians with hia own hand, besides doing to death a litter of bears o f six months, with their sire and dam. For the troth of this reasonable statement he appealed to Vesuvius, who answered with a short, sharp and expressive yelp, and then fixed his fiery eyes upon An drew in such a threatening manner that the latter retreated to the farthest cor ner o f the room, rolling his eyes in great alarm. Simon Kenton, though a braver man In the honr o f danger never held a rifle, sat silent and reserved as a young maid en; but Alltyi observed that his eyes sought the neat figure of Lizzie Boone, as she moved lightly about the dwelling. - C H A P T E R IV . Roaalthe returned to the fort much perplexed and agitated by the singular Conduct of L e Bland. Notwithstanding the hifh place which he occupied In the estlrifatlofi o f her father, she had never valued -him as an acquaintance; on the contrary, she had never felt at ease in his society. The cause of her aversion to the inslnusting. Frenchman 'she could not herself understand fully; but it was not the l«se genuine for that reason. Encouraged by her father's good opin ion, he had made declarations at various times o f the nature and tendellr^ of Which ahe could not affect to misappre hend. Rosalthe, on all such occasions,' had given no word o f hope, and with s careful regard to his feelings endeavor- ed to make known her sentiments with out wounding his pride. Th e conversation which had transport ed on the bsnk o f the river sppeared abundantly conffhnatory o f her fears snd suspicions. T o ths young stranger wnu had so opportunely appeared to assist her she felt truly grateful; but the re flection that sbs had possibly involved him in a quarrel with a dangerous mao added much to tbo anxiety o f her mind. She was on the point o f making known tbe state w f tier fseM ogw «» her-father,- t T ' im p e l the Jsesttw. “ Tea; a name wps mentioned which I Ia rasoect to Lo Bland, whea he com- menced to apeak highly In hla p relge, dwelling particularly upon his gentle manners and the frankness which char acterised him In every act iu life. “ I esteem him,” added Mr. Alston, “ for hia numerous good qualities— for the kindness o f hla heart, for the dignity and refinement of his manners and for all thoae noble traits which constitute j true manhood.” Roaalthe fa it'h er blood mounting tu multuously to her cheeks, aud tears o f regret filling her eyes. She much pained that a man o f be# father’* dis crimination should be ao egregionsly de ceived in the Frenchman’s character. But she was misapprehended; for Alston, ob serving her confusion, attributed It whol ly to another cause and remarked, with a meaning smile, that “ she need not be confused abont the matter, for he f o l l y appreciated her feelings and should not reproach her for anything that might have passed between Le Bland and her self, o f whose honorable intentions he was entirely persuaded.” And to make Rosalthe’» position more mortifying, Mrs. Alston observed la re P e r S h e lle d C o r a . lation to the subject o f her husband’ s W h ere considerable corn has to be eulogy: “ That he was a very pleasant gentleman, and she hoped her daughter shelled fo r the anim als on the farm would be ao fortunate as never to form It la often ^wasted by fa llin g on the any acquaintances lead respectable; and barn floor add through the cracks be ahe should not object to her preferences tween the boards.
